Yeah, I also have a bugeye, and like it a lot. I have PPP on it, as that makes her justice otherwise it is pretty standard. I'm still thinking on the conversion for Morettes, in my oppinion with that it is the best looking Impreza. However, with the bugeyes it is so unconventional and ugly that it is in fact nice, I'm not sure if I explained this clearly

Bugeyes are much better than some people give them credit for, especially with a remap . I've had two classics but this one takes the biscuit:-

Default to bug eye or not to bug eye

I have to agree - the bug eye with either the morrette (sp?) or prodrive headlights look very good.

What the hell were they thinking about the peanut version?

im sure uv seen pics of the new new impreza...what do you guys think?

Blimey that red blob eye looks very good VFM to me, its still got 3/4 months of warranty. Have a look at a main dealer and see what you'd pay for it I'm guessing +£3k so somewhere around £14.5k

My Bug-Eye WRX de-tango'd.

Costs next to nothing - just takes a few hours.

I've just changed the front reflectors in mine (pic above was an oldie). Just need some white side indicators now. Where did you get yours from??

SU32L90 is the part number. They are the nicest of the type I have seen. Bang that into Google and you should find plenty of suppliers.

As you have got an STI with the dark headlights etc it might be an idea to go for carbon fibre inserts instead? Just with it being a dark colour paint also it might look better.

NEVETAS, I've never really been keen but your motor looks stunning, if I buy one of those I'm ripping off you style. Looks awesome mate.

Heres a couple of pics of my old bugeye showing what it looked like when I bought and what it looked like when I sold it.

I reckon they are pretty ugly as standard but doesn't take much to improve the look - Morrette front head lights were the biggest improvement.
